Here's your chance to figure out how much you're willing to pay to keep a tree species from going extinct (This auction block aims to save ancient trees).
Saplings of a giant tree that was a snack for dinosaurs and was believed to also be extinct until a chance discovery in Australia will soon be offered for sale to the public for the first time.
Less than 300 of the Wollemi pines — which can grow to at least 130-feet tall and live for 1,000 years — will be offered for sale in October through auction house Sotheby’s individually and in lots...
...individual samples were expected to fetch around $1,500 with collections of cuttings of the original discovery priced at up to $38,000.
Anyone want to do a quick experiment?
